Tired of Letting You Down (Priorities.)

It's been all summer since i've posted. I apologize if you have been reading and missed new additions to my blog. I enjoy letting you in. Some things have really been challenging me lately about my desires.

Priorities.What do I really want to do? Before last semester ended, Steve Rieske reminded me that what I want to do is what I will do. My heart reflects off the mirror of my life and the time I spend with people. What I really want in my heart is what will take priority in my life. It seems easy, so literal. Facilisimo. Not true, at least not in my life. There's something deeper. Something I don't understand. Why when I try so hard to schedule my days does a meeting come up, or something conflict with every single thing I try to do?

Scheduling isn't soley it. I must understand the real priorities in my life. My focus begins reflecting on the things that I really want. That means, not the things other people think I should do. It also means finding out what exactly I desire.

So what happens when I mess it up? What happens when we don't communicate the way we wanted to? I schedule time to hang out with friends, yet I find out later that I had other responsibilities? How do I ask for grace after grace after grace.....

It's so new for me to actually schedule my priorities. If I don't watch out, lies start to creep up, like what i'm hearing this past week:

"You're no better than when you were when you were a Freshman""You can't do this!""You don't have priorities."

And the truth for this:

"...though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand..."Ps. 37

I press on. I am growing.

I found out about "Freegal" - an app/service for free music downloads. Depending on your library (yes, you have to have a library card!) you can get 3 to 5 songs free each week from a large database of music.

Being that the budget has gone in the direction of feeding children, Freegal has opened up a part of me that I killed for the sake of responsibility. I really enjoy having new songs that I own - and that's exactly what Freegal gives you - free MP3's each week.

Here's the problem: if you download the music to the app, Apple has made it difficult to "Free the Freegal" music and add it to your iTunes library. There is a way around this, and I have not found an article online that gives a good step-by-step to do this.

So, I will attempt to explain how to get songs from Freegal on an iOS device to your iTunes music library.

Here's the most recent edition. We sang this in our local church gathering last week...so, it's been proven to work. Enjoy. I've included the bass walk in the verses. If you have that low - B string...it brings that extra emphasis in the end...

Hi there. A great guitar teacher told me that the best way to improve "play by ear" (or ear training) was to transcribe songs. So, that is what I've been practicing. When I find a song I like that isn't really out there on the interwebs, I like to share my work in transcribing. Here's Mr. Brandon Hampton's song "Perfected in Love" As with many IHOP-community songs, there's the 4 tags at the end at your disposal...make sure to develop your own. Same chords repeated. P.S. - Brandon, thanks for leading from electric. Me gusta.
